Low Cost HighPerformerThis Pavilion g7 arrived as a lean machine. While it may not have the highest end specifications, it's a beautiful machine offering a 17.3 screen, Windows 8.1, and no bloat-ware which speeds up the performance. I've been able to stream movies and watch videos smoothly and without any issues and the sound performance from the internal speakers are some of the best I've heard from laptops. In short, if you're looking for a low cost machine that can really deliver, and you don't need high end specifications or pre-activated office software, this is an excellent buy. Please note, this does prompt you to download a trial version of MS Office 13.

BargainI purchased this laptop to use for backup, review, and light editing of my photos when on the road. I will also use it around the home for other purposes. Performance is good enough for me to run Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS 5 (I did add 4GB of RAM for a total of 8GB). It is a bit heavy to travel with but it's nice to have the large screen so it's a trade I'm willing to make.

Big screen, big value.I bought this for home email and word processing. It is better than I expected. The processor is fast(I added 4GB of RAM)and it was easy to set-up. The 17 screen is great and it handles dual monitors with no problem. It does a great job with photos which is a bonus. I have had it for three weeks and if it lasts six years like my last HP notebook I will be really happy.

Personal use for fun and photosReplacing another laptop, planing to keep old one as a back-up but wanted something faster. I like the larger screen and number keypad along with the speed for processing photos I take.
